For a fresh-tasting side dish, Kathleen serves Italian Bread Salad. This pretty blend is a snap to prepare. For variety add whatever veggies you like, such as green or yellow peppers, zucchini, summer squash or sliced olives, she suggests. Ingredients:
4 slices italian or french bread (1 inch thick) |
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
2 plum tomatoes, halved lengthwise and sliced |
1 medium cucumber, seeded and chopped |
2 to 3 green onions, sliced |
2 tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese |
lettuce leaves |
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/4 teaspoon dried basil |
Directions:
1. Brush both sides of bread with 1 tablespoon oil. Place on a baking sheet. Broil 4 in. from the heat for 1-2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Cut into 1-in. cubes.
2. In a large bowl, toss the bread cubes, tomatoes, cucumber, onions and cheese. Divide among four lettuce-lined salad plates. In a small bowl, whisk the vinegar, garlic, basil and remaining oil. Drizzle over salads. Serve immediately. Yield: 4 servings.
